The Small Boy of Boston.
New York Independent.

Miss Isabel T. Hapgood is noted for the faith
fulness of her translations from the Russian and
the French. That she is ready to put herself to
any pains to get an exact equivalent is shown by
the following extract from a recent letter.
Here's something which New Yorker will de-
light in telling against Boston. the rextdoor
neighbor to the Concord school of philosophy,
and herself renowned for culture. i wanted a

The Ways of Providence.

Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle
Why did Providence permit the awful Chats
worth disaster to happen, nv soma Well, posi-
bly, to give some preachers who have preached
up al the Bible in three years something to
preach about. II it wasn't for an occasional
shipwreck, divorce, murder, railway accident,
big horse race or base ball game, there are some
preachers who would sometimes be compelled
to preach from text in the New Testament
But Providence, ever mindful of the needs of
the weakest of its children, generally manages
to keep this sort of preacher from saying any,
thing about the Bible And, between US and
the Concordance, this is mighty good thing for
the Bible

Creoles and Their Servants.

Poor. indeed must be the creole family
without one retainer of color, and almost
every household provides for some old and
useless pensioners with affectionate inter
est. Creole servants are invaluable, their
training having been thorough; and in al
most every instance they remained with
their old mistresses, often working when
there was no money to pay their wage,
often assuming extra work to make few
picayunes to help their beloved ''whits
people, Creole housekeepers manage to
keep servants, even the servants of the
new dispensation, while their American
sisters in the same city are wasting their
substance in advertisements, or wearing
out footgear tramping from one employ,
ment bureau to the other Creoles accord
certain privileges to their servants which
Americans refuse. Creole children are
taught from babyhood poiteness to SER
wants, and American children are permit
ted to jeer, to worry and to insult them.-

Where They We're Born

of them, ''where were you borng'
s'Well," said the major, getting little
red, II was born, sir, in Nantucket, Mass,
but you see I lived ten years in the south,
and 1 married a southern lady, and as all
my interests were in the south of course
I fought for them"
''And where were you born?'' he asked
the second.
''Well, sir, I was born in Nantucket,
Mass, but I'd lived in the south twenty
years, and of course''-

third. Colonel, where were you born?''

Few Facilities for Bathing

Statistics collected by DR.. Rhoe show
that five-sixths of the inhabitants of all
cities in this country have no IA
cilities for bathing, except such as are
afforded by pail and a sponge, Or
an easily accessible river, lake, or some
other body of water. The establishment
of public baths is urgently recommended,
both as sanitary as well as moral
measure. Tub Or pool baths are objec-
tonable both on account of the expense
and lack of privacy in the latter. The
spray bath, in use in the French and Ger
man army barracks, are recommended.
These are not at all expensive, either in
the first cost or the administration, and
allow each bather absolute privacy, and
the opportunity for a thorough cleansing
in clean water. Public baths should be
open the year round, and not only during
the summer months. Boston Herald

Loves Deserted Palace.

Regard it well, it's a lordly place,
falace OF love, once warmed with sacred fires,
And loud from end to end with Joy of Tyres.
Fragrant with incense, with great lights ablaze.
The fires are dead now dead the festal rays;
NO more the music marries keen desires
NO more the incense of the shrine aspires.
And OF loves godhead there is now no trace.
Yet if one walked at night through those dim
halls,
Might it not chance that ghostly shapes would
rise,
And ghostly lights glide glimmering down the
walls
That there might be a stir. sound Of signs,
And gentle voices answering gentle calls,
Aud gentle wandering wraiths of melodies :?

Oil on the Stormy Waters.

The use of oil to calm the sea during
storm, or at least to check the force of
big waves, has apparently acquired recog-
milton as a scientific truth. At any rate
the experiment tried by shipmasters; as
recorded on the monthly pilot charts issued
from the photographic office of the navy
department, have been generally success
full. Mariners have, in fact, been led to try
their experiments by the frequent publica-
ton of information concerning the prac-
tice, and mechanics have also been led to
contrive devices by means of which the
oil can be thrown from the bows of ships
There have also been prepared several
combinations of animal, vegetable and
mineral oils especially for use as quieting
script.
